iGen4500

Generator arrived quickly, packaged nicely. Followed all instructions on setting up unit before first time starting. Generator fired up on first attempt and purred beautifully. Ran unit for a short a time and then put a load on it off and on at different levels. Will be finishing up break in process today. So far so good. Love the remote start on/off.

Runs great, Super Quiet

I bought a pair of the iGen4500 online and had them shipped to my home. Read the manual, added the oil and fuel and put them both into service right way. So far they have both run like a champ. They seem to produce the rated power easily run smoothly even under the maximum rated load. They are a little heavy at just over 100lbs but I have found a generator for that output that's any lighter and the wheels help compensate when you move it around. This is my second pair of Westinghouse iGens and so far Im very happy with every unit.

used it once. works well. quiet.

at pick-up, I noticed the box appeared a bit beaten, as if it were opened and resealed.Also at set-up, both battery wires were connected. I was supposed to connect a wire to the battery. Both + and - were connected. The center bottom screw on the front vibrated out and was lost.

Great RV Generator!

I bought this generator because it was quite, had a great price and was powerful enough to run my Air Conditioning in my camper trailer in addition to other electrical loads. It is also easy to move around, thanks to the wheels and extendable handle. It handles like a travel suitcase. This is my second generator purchase. The first is also going strong!

Stopped working after 6 months

When I first opened the box, I observed one of the bolts that were used to hold the plastic sides on were stripped. I unfortunately ignored it. It seemed to run great, I thought it was awesome especially because of how quiet it ran. I also enjoyed that it came with a wireless key fob. Unfortunately, less then 6 months, one of the red lights illuminated and it showed that it was surging. it wouldn't start. It was only used to run a small chest freezer and a few LED lights here and there. its been in the shed ever since.

Great features!

Perfect for our needs. Quiet, easy to use, push button start, USB ports, telescoping handle, everything you could need in an emergency. It was important for me (as the wife) to be able to use this, move it, set it up on my own as my husband is often called away during emergencies due to his work. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

Tons of features for price point.

I bought this generator specifically to run my sump and refrigerators during power outages. So far it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The design is super sleek, the feature such as remote start are top notch, and the unit is very quiet. Highly recommended.

Great quiet generator very low fuel consumption

Bought this generator to use camping in toy hauler camper. Like how the plug is 30 amp camper plug instead of twist lock, no adaptor needed. Very quiet. Awesome fuel consumption. Burned exactly 1 gallon of fuel every 4 hours after I averaged out the 15 gallons of gas I used and the 60 hours I put on generator over the weekend.

IGen4500

Older Generator quit working while Camping with my RV , ordered IGen4500 arrived within 3 Days. Unpacked, very easy to get through the initial setup to get it running. Started up at first try. Love the Pull Bar which i didn't even know about so much easier to pull the generator. Remote start is a HUGE + ... Enough power to go around and quiet ... GREAT Design with easy access panels.

Quality for the price

I think this is as big of a generator you can get and consider it portable. It has a nicely designed quality telescopic handle and 2 grab handles on top. It is an inverter/generator with specified very low harmonic distortion. I figure that most electric merchandise these days are controlled by sensitive electronics and decided it would be prudent to get a unit with cleaner electricity output then a conventional generator supplies. Considering the retail price relative to other known high quality manufacturers, I think the unit overall is a sound purchase for occasional recreational and emergency usage. My only negative criticism is the very common known issue with the automatic electric choke. Cold starting the engine in almost all scenarios requires setting the choke and the choke should be off when the engine starts to run properly. I was anticipating this to be an issue on the unit I purchased and was not concerned about making the repair as there are several detailed videos online that provide instructions. However, I don't understand why this is a ongoing problem and honestly I was close to going with another manufacturer because I felt that this seemingly minor, ongoing unresolved issue may be indicative of several other soon to be exposed operating problems. My choke would not engage upon initial start attempt. The engine would not start unlike others that did start but the choke would not disengage. My problem was the same though as the electronic choke harness was not plugged into it's connector. I suppose time will tell but I will say after having to remove and loosen most of the plastic panels to repair the electric choke issue, the parts and assembly that I could see seem to be quality constructed. Once I corrected the choke the unit fired up right away and has ran great since.
